Travel

Please take care when travelling to and from the festival. There are many ways to get to the festival including walking, cycling or using Merseyrail and Merseytravel services. If you are driving to Africa Oyé please bear in mind that the festival site will be very busy, so parking will be limited.

Why not choose a healthier and greener option by cycling or walking, or utilising public transport where possible? Please note: Car parking in the immediate vicinity of the festival is limited, and predominantly for residents.
